Abstract:
1. In the present study, Ca2+ uptake and Ca2(+)-ATPase activity of two different chicken leukocyte populations and erythrocytes isolated from 1- to 6-week-old chickens were determined. 2. The Ca2(+)-ATPase activity of the two leukocyte populations significantly increased at 3 weeks of age. Erythrocyte Ca2(+)-ATPase activity significantly increased at 2 weeks of age. 3. Calcium transport activities into the two leukocyte populations did not differ significantly with age.
